Mmmmm….muffins. Have I already shared how much I like muffins? I think I may have back in my post about my lemon blueberry muffins I made with almond flour. One of the reasons I love muffins so much these days is that I have a hard time eating a real breakfast in the morning, what with being a teacher and getting up so early. Muffins are the perfect on the go breakfast food, as long as they are not laden with sugar. For me, muffins need to pack some nutritional and delicious goodness into each bite to be worth eating.

If you have ever eating Ethiopian food, you have had Teff flour. It is the main ingredient in injera, the Ethiopian flatbread served alongside delicious meats and vegetables and is used in place of silverware. You can read more about teff HERE. (Thanks Wikipedia!)

You can purchase teff flour at Whole Foods and I buy my arrowroot powder from Penzey’s Spices. Enjoy!

3. Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients. Add oil, water, vanilla, agave, molasses, eggs and banana to the center of the bowl. Stir all ingredients together to combine. Do not over mix. The mixture will be liquidy.

4. Evenly distribute batter between 6 muffin tins. The tins will be full to the top.

5. Bake muffins for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy!
